NBC Streaming Service – Name, Premiere Date & Programming Revealed!
NBCUniversal is revealing the details of their highly publicized streaming service, which is called Peacock!
The network revealed on Tuesday (September 17) that the upcoming platform will premiere in April of 2020.
The launch will include “exclusive streaming rights to reruns of The Office and Parks & Recreation,” as well as a lot of new programming.
The new shows include a Battlestar Galactica roboot from Sam Esmail, a Saved By the Bell revival including original cast members Elizabeth Berkley and Mario Lopez, the previously revealed Punky Brewster reboot with Soleil Moon Fry.
The programming also includes a third season of the cancelled sitcom A.P. Bio, the second Psych movie and the limited series Dr. Death, starring Jamie Dornan, Alec Baldwin and Christian Slater.
A new drama series based on the novel Brave New World starring Alden Ehrenreich and Demi Moore is also coming, as well as a new Ed Helms-fronted comedy Rutherford Falls.
Plus, the reboot of Queer as Folk is coming on the platform too!
“The name Peacock pays homage to the quality content that audiences have come to expect from NBCUniversal – whether it’s culture-defining dramas from innovative creators like Sam Esmail, laugh-out-loud comedies from legends like Lorne Michaels and Mike Schur, blockbusters from Universal Pictures, or buzzy unscripted programming from the people who do it best at Bravo and E! Peacock will be the go-to place for both the timely and timeless — from can’t-miss Olympic moments and the 2020 election, to classic fan favorites like The Office,” said Peacock exec Bonnie Hammer.
